What is the best way to clean windows?

With over 20 years’ experience in cleaning windows for both domestic and commercial customers, we can say without doubt that the water-fed pole system is the best way of cleaning external windows. We started window cleaning with a bucket and ladder back in 1999. At that time, cloths or a squeegee were the go-to method for most window cleaners. As time moved on and the water-fed pole system was developed, it became clear that this method was going to be the new industry standard for professional window cleaners. This method offers at least 6 good reasons to ensure your windows are cleaned by the water-fed pole system.

How does the water-fed pole system work?

A tank of purified and de-mineralised water is mounted in the back of a van. This purified water is pumped from the van through a hose and an extendable pole to the specialised brush head. The brush head, with water spraying out, is used to clean the window, frames and sills and wash the dirt away. After the window has been brushed, the pole is lifted away from the surface of the glass, and more water is sprayed on to the window to give it a final rinse. The window is then left to dry naturally. As there are no minerals in the water, the window dries to a sparkling finish without leaving any deposits behind.

6 reasons to use the water-fed pole system to clean windows?

This cleaning method offers at least 6 advantages over cleaning windows off a ladder with a squeegee. These include:

  • No risk of operatives falling and injuring themselves on your property.
  • No cleaning residues that can attract dirt are left on the glass, therefore keeping your windows cleaner for longer.
  • No chemicals or detergents are required, therefore it’s more environmentally friendly.
  • Less chance that your property or garden will be damaged by the use of ladders.
  • Windows often inaccessible off a ladder can be reached safely with the pole.
  • Your privacy is maintained as all windows are cleaned from the ground.

Of course, there may still be occasions where the pole-fed system cannot be used, in which case we will use the most appropriate cleaning method, whether this is with an applicator and squeegee or with cloths. Want us to clean your windows? Sign-up and join hundreds of delighted customers.
